About Dmitry Shcherbinovsky

Lived 1867 – 1926 (aged 59). Dmitry Shcherbinovsky was a Russian painter.

Dmitry Anfimovich Shcherbinovsky (Russian: Дмитрий Анфимович Щербиновский; 13 January 1867, Petrovsk—27 November 1926, Moscow) was a Russian Impressionist painter and art teacher; associated with the Peredvizhniki.

Biography He was born to a family of merchants. His first art lessons were at the "реальном училище" (Realschule) in Saratov. In 1885, at the insistence of his parents, he entered the law school at Moscow State University and graduated in 1891. While there, however, he had also taken lessons from Vasily Polenov, who encouraged him to become an artist.

He went almost directly from the University to the Imperial Academy of Arts, where he studied with Pavel Chistyakov and Ilya Repin, becoming one of the latter's favorite students. Boris Grigoriev was his best-known student at the State University.

After the Revolution, in addition to his usual employment, he taught at several handicraft schools and workers' associations and was a member of the "Council of Trade Union Painters" (SOZHIV).
